2. Attach mounting bracket to a
smooth surface using the two
mounting screws (supplied) or
attach to gutter using the wing
nut provided. You may choose
to remove the mounting bracket
from the bracket arm for easier
installation. Make sure the SLW5
is fixed in a vertical position.
Tighten all wing nuts to make sure
unit is held vertical.
Rain/Freeze Sensing Function
The SLW5 wireless weather station
provides rain and freeze sensing
functions to prevent watering
during periods of rain and freezing
weather. The rain override will pause
watering after a minimum of 1/4
inch (6.35mm) of rainfall is received,
based on the 1/4 inch (6.35mm)
factory rain sensor setting. Settings
can be changed incrementally up
to 3/4 inch (19mm). The SLW5
wireless weather station freeze sensing function will prevent
watering when the outside temperature drops below 37
degrees Fahrenheit (1.5 degrees Celsius) and allow watering
to resume when the temperature increases above 37 degrees
F (1.5 degrees Celsius). The Sensor LED will display RED
during rain or freeze periods. Additionally, after a rain event,
the SmartLine® controller will continue to pause watering
for 48 hours after the rain sensor has disengaged in order
to prevent over watering. During the 48-hour extended rain
delay, the sensor LED is ORANGE. In the event you choose to
end the 48-hour extended rain delay, press the Sensor button
twice and the sensor will return to a GREEN color and permit
watering. If the firmware version in your SmartLine® controller
has an SLW DLY function, you can adjust the factory default
setting of 48 hours delay to a period of 0–99 hours.
Troubleshooting and Maintenance
Each SLW5 and SLHUB-RF-5 are shipped together as a mated
pair with a factory set security code. Therefore if you ever
need replace an SLW5 always install the mating SLHUB-RF-5
that ships with the unit. After replacing both components,
you should reactivate the SLW5 using step 2 above to assure
communication.
The SLW5 wireless weather station is designed for years of
maintenance free operation. You will need to change the
two AAA lithium batteries after approximately 10 years of
operation. See instructions under Changing Lithium Batteries.
Changing Lithium Batteries
To change the SLW5 wireless weather station batteries:
1. Loosen the screws to the bottom cover on the SLW5.
Rotate the cover in the keyholes and remove
2. Replace the existing batteries with two (2) new AAA
lithium batteries.
NOTE: Pay attention to correct polarity when installing
the batteries. Incorrect installation may cause damage to
the product and/or performance.
3. Reactivate the SLW5 wireless weather station. See Step 2
above.
4. Return to the controller and push the MODE button to
place the controller back in the Auto Adjust position.
If the SLW5 wireless weather station and SmartLine®
controller are in communication, the Auto Adjust GREEN
LED will light and the antenna icon will appear in the
display.
Verify the remaining voltage in
the SLW5 battery at any time
by turning the dial to Advanced
Menu, Tests. Push Next to get
Outputs, then push DOWN
button to get SLW Battery.
Push Next to read the remaining
voltage. Note: The SLW Battery function is visible after you
have established communication with the SLW5.
